Orthopedic Knee Surgeon

Dr. Robert J. Tait enjoys a thriving orthopedic practice in the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area. His clinic is located in Henderson, just south of the city of Las Vegas. Clinic specialities include surgical and therapeutic treatments of the shoulder, hip, and knee that are designed to address the unique needs of each individual patient. Tait is a specialist in knee surgery who takes the individualized approach to his practice. Whether the knee replacement is partial or total, each surgery is customized to the individual patient and uses the most advanced technologies available.

In the News

Dr. Tait featured in an article in the Las Vegas Sun on June 1, 2017 entitled: 3-D printing becoming more routine in knee replacements. From the article: “Before I had the procedure done, (the doctor) told me he was going to be a conformist,” Pulitzer said. “He said it would be a knee made especially for me.” That new technology was 3-D-printed-assisted knee replacement. Henderson-based Dr. Robert Tait, among the first surgeons in the U.S. to use this technology for total knee replacements, has used it for about five years.”

Knee Replacement Surgery

If knee arthritis, or osteoarthritis, has become too severe to be helped by non-surgical options, you may be a candidate for knee replacement surgery. Dr. Silver considers many factors before recommending this procedure, including imaging results, severity of pain, and limitations to daily life. The two knee replacement surgeries used most commonly are partial knee replacement and total knee replacement.
